If you had to retype any Pokemon, which ones would you do and to which types? Personally, I think Nosepass and Probopass should have been Rock/Electric, Marowak to be Ground/Fighting, Serperior to be Grass/Dragon, Gyarados either pure Water or Water/Dragon, Lucario to be Psychic/Fighting, and Dunsparce to be Normal/Ground.

If I had to?  That’s an odd stipulation.  Why am I being so cruelly compelled?

There are very, very few Pokémon whose typing actually upsets me.  I’m okay with Gyarados being a Flying-type, for instance, even though Gyarados can’t fly, since Gyarados’ physical design is based on a kite, and I’m not bothered by Lucario not being a Psychic-type, since the fact that Aura Sphere is a Fighting-type move seems to signify that his aura-related abilities are just qualitatively different from what Psychic Pokémon do.  If I’m going to jump in and start retyping things… well, it really depends on what I can get away with.  I could add Dark to Raticate, Arbok, Persian, Hypno, Gothitelle and Cofagrigus, Psychic to Golduck, Steel to Electrode and Porygon, Flying to Sceptile and Rock to Conkeldurr, swap Normal for Fighting on Farfetch’d and Braviary and Flying for Water on Masquerain, quietly erase Watchog from existence while no one is looking, and finish up by eradicating the Ground type completely and dividing all of its possessions between Normal, Rock and Fighting.

Or I could play it safe and just make Charizard Dragon/Fire.  Y’know, whatevs.
